5. Setup ...
5.1 Adjust ...
The printer can be adjusted during operation mode.

However, this should only be done if you have experience using the
printer.
5.1.1 Modulation
The drop separation point is determined by the size of the modulation
value.
The drop separation point can be set within a range of 0 - 255.
The modulation must be adjusted, by controlling the inkjet with a

magnifying glass.
(See Operating Manual of the inkjet printer)
Changes should only be made by trained personnel.
5.1.2 Auto Mirror

This option is only available in the RS232 mode.
The ‘Automatical Mirror’ allows to print texts alternately regular or inver-

se, within an inverse continuous printing.
5.1.3 Heat Temperature

The “Heat Temperature” option allows you to determine the temperature
of the ink.
The value of the ‘Heat Temperature’ can be set within a range of 20°C -
45°C.
The default setting is: 35°C
The heat temperature is preset at the factory and should only be changed
by agreement with WIEDENBACH or Komax.

301070705
... Setup ...

... Adjust ...
5.1.4 Phasing
The ‘Phasing Voltage’ option sends the charging time of the droplets
back to the processor.
The value of the ‘Phasing Voltage’ can be set within a range of 5 V -

20 V.
The default setting is: 10-12 V
The phasing voltage is preset at the factory and should only be changed
5.1.5 Charge Voltage

The ‘Charge voltage’ option limits the maximum charging voltage.
The value of the ‘Charge voltage’ can be set within a range of 125 V -
255 V.
The default setting is: 255 V.
The charge voltage is preset at the factory and should only be changed
5.1.6 Ink Alarm

In the ‘Ink Alarm’ menu you can set whether an alarm is to be triggered
or suppressed in the event of ink faults.
Factory setting: Alarm ON
The “Ink Alarm” indicates no ink, overfilling with ink or overdosing of

solvent if the alarm indicator is activated.
The alarm is indicated on the OMI display and by an acoustic horn.
Every alarm is acknowledged by pressing the ‘ENTER’ key.

5.1.7 Phasing Control

In the ‘Phasing Control’ menu you can set whether an alarm is to be
triggered or suppressed in the event phasing errors.
Factory setting: Phasing Control ON
The phasing control is preset at the factory and should only be changed
by agreement with WIEDENBACH or KOMAX.
5.1.8 HV Control
In the ‘HV Control’ menu you can set whether an alarm is to be triggered
or suppressed in the event of high voltage errors.
Factory setting: HV Control activated
The HV control is preset at the factory and should only be changed by

agreement with WIEDENBACH or KOMAX.

... Setup ...

5.2 Bleeding
The sub menu ‚Bleeding air’ is only shown, once the Inkjet printer
has been started and the head cap removed.
Especially after a long standing time it is recommended to stir the ink

more thoroughly by ‘air bleeding’ for 10-20 minutes, meaning to lift the
settled pigments of the ink.
After bleeding the printer, the modulation of the inkjet has to be checked.
By putting on the print head cover, the HV is activated automatically.

... Setup ...

5.3 Sample ...
The ‘Sample’ sub-menu is only shown when the inkjet printer

is in the Print mode.
The sample print serves for test purposes.
5.3.1 Start Sample

The ‘Start Sample’ option is only available when the sample printing is
not active.
Attention!
You cannot leave the menu with ESC if the sample printing is active.
It is only possible to exit the menu after entering the ‘Stop Sample’
command.
5.3.2 Stop Sample

The ‘Stop Sample’ option is only available when the sample printing is
active.
5.3.3 Sample Text

The default value displayed in the ‘Sample Text’ menu can be changed
by turning the navigation wheel and confirming with the ‘ENTER’ key.
5.3.4 Text acceptance

For TCP/IP- Mode, for example Zeta633, it is possible to call and print a
sample print text for various simulated print head distances in different
matrices in a defined following order.

5.3.5 Sample Print Go

The start signal for printing is referred to as Print Go.
OMI: The OMI is used for Print Go. After switching on, an
interactive dialog menu appears in which the user is
prompted to press the ‘ENTER’ key for every print
command.
Time Factor: 10 - 5000 ms
An internal timer is used for Print Go.
Encoder: 10 - 2500 mm
An internal shaft encoder (distance) measuring
triggers the print according to the adjusted value
Signal: An external signal is generated for Print Go.
5.3.6 Sample Stroke Go

The text length (width) of the labelling can be set here.
Stroke Go is the pulse with which one drop array (1 stroke) is printed.
Time Factor: 0,05 - 12,5 ms

The Stroke Go is released according to this time entry
for the internal timer
Encoder: 20 - 5100 µm
An internal shaft encoder (distance) measuring
triggers one stroke within the interval of the adjusted
value
